Export and Backup to XML

There may be times where you want to get your content out of Paligo. For example, if you want to:

  • Make your own backups that you can import back into Paligo at a later date, if necessary.

    For making backups, export your content in the Export Paligo Export File (PEF).

  • Migrate your Paligo content to another system or export it so that it can be converted into DITA or some other XML. For migrating your content out of Paligo, see Publish as DocBook XML.

Note

To manipulate the XML outside of Paligo, you can either export it to PEF or publish as DocBook 5.1. In most cases, we recommend that you publish as DocBook 5.1 as this is an open standard. PEF is more complex as it contains more information.

Do not manipulate XML outside of Paligo and then import it back into Paligo. This can result in duplicate content. If you need to manipulate XML that you will continue to use in Paligo, use the Oxygen plugin. Open the topics in the Content Manager widget from there.
